✭Runestones are just as common as any other type of crafting node, but getting an Aspect Rune to give a Kuta. Now that is rare, so I prefer to farm them from heavy bags or fishing (Wet Gunny Sack) instead.
Most people don't bother harvesting Essence Runes (the Yellow ones) so if that is all you are finding, it means someone else is 'cherry' picking in the same area as you.Edited by Natjur on October 16, 2014 1:26AM2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Caves in Cyrodiil have lots of runestone nodes and they respawn quickly. Of course, you will literally be fighting other players over them. :-)1 -
Khami✭✭✭✭Best advice I can give is walk around and look for them. Just because an essence rune is there doesn't mean a potency or aspect rune won't spawn there.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭If you're lucky enough to not be competing with a few other people, Belkarth has an abundance of runestone spawn points. You can do a loop around the city and the outlying areas that will easily get you 8 runestones (of varying types) within a matter of minutes.----

It's no more rare in that region than any other region, but I'm willing to bet that you aren't finding them in Stonefalls because they blend in with the terrain more than anywhere else in the game. You can always invest points in Keen Eye if you want to have a better shot (it does make a difference).----

...which is really dumb because not taking the essence rune means it will still be an essence rune when you circle around and end up back there. If you take it, then it will probably be an aspect or potency when you come back.Edited by skeletorz_ESO on October 16, 2014 8:13AM“If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” -- René Descartes2 -
Syntse✭✭✭✭✭Getting add-on like Harvest map helps quite a lot with it. Once you have adventured enough and picked those runes you can check your map and see where they have been. Now find nice tight concentration of the stones and start picking.Syntse Dominion Khajiit Dragonknight Stamina Tank [50]

Eps✭✭Well, here are the sources I currently use:
1. The Hireling (obviously).
2. For Aspect Runes (Red) I go back to the starting island and harvest there. I find a particularly abundant area and harvest all of them, then let Red runestones spawn in their place a short time later. This provides a lot of Jejota and Denata runestones as well as basic Essence Runestones (Yellow).
3. For Potency Runestones (Blue) I look around for them in the zone I'm currently soloing.
4. If I absolutely need a particular Blue Runestone at any given time, I buy 5 Glyphs of the appropriate level from the vendor and break them down. Usually that yields 1-2 units of that runestone. It's expensive, but mostly reliable.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I look for Runestones at night. They glow so they are easier to find that way.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

alkoriak✭✭✭Can a high level VR player tell me how much costs a monumental glyph at the vendor? I think there are 2 prices depending on potency rune.0

Oberstein✭✭✭install some addon that helps you to find runestones or use 1 skill that highlightes the runestones.History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.1 -
